AMS Booth Presentations
We will try again to show the videos at the NOAA booth at AMS
We will offer time to do a Science on a Sphere lecture on VIIRS AOT animations
Comments are welcome on the two YouTube Videos:

Suomi NPP VIIRS Aerosol Science and User Workshop
Status of VIIRS aerosol products provided to science and operational users
Users requested reprocessing capabilities, repackaging of data to meet data assimilation needs, and distribute tools developed by STAR
Figure shows aerosol optical thickness for September 9, 2013. High values are due to smoke from Rim fire in California.
STAR held a two-day Suomi NPP aerosol science and operational user workshop on November 21-22, 2013 that was attended by 65 participants from NASA, NWS, NRL, EPA, state and local air quality forecasters, and different universities.
Goal of the workshop was to present to the science and operational users the status of VIIRS aerosol products and facilitate the operational evaluation.
Conducted hands-on case study analysis of VIIRS aerosol products and did live demos of various visualization tools developed by STAR.
